Unknown to many: Mashad has a native ethnic Persian (Khorasani) Sunni community of around 15%. MANY towns outside of Mashad (like Khaf, Taybad, Torbat Jam etc.) are still *majority* Sunni (their remote land saved them from the Shia Safawi onslaught in the 16th century).
There are a few so-called backyard 'mosques' run by Sunnis in Mashad. A backyard mosque is a type of mosque without any traditional Islamic architecture. It has neither domes nor minarets.
It is a veiled and that's what the Iranian regime wants (churches, synagogues and even Zoroastrian fire temples on the other hand enjoy freedom and boast with lavish and visible places of worship in Tehran and elsewhere).
Their hatred is reserved for Ahlul-Tawhid, Ahlu-Sunnah.

Note: These backyard 'mosques' (in Persian known as نماز خانه / Namaz Khaneh) are usually presented by Iranian regime apologists, Khomeinists and other Shia apologists as 'Sunni mosques in Tehran' etc.
